Lowth, is the great increase and flourishing state of the church of God, by the conversion and accession of the heathen nations to it; which is set forth in such ample and exalted terms, as plainly shew that the full completion of this prophecy is reserved for future times.

The language then becomes more energetic, and the images employed more grand and magnificent; and nothing can answer to the glorious description but some future exalted state of the church on earth, or the church triumphant in heaven; though several expressions seem to limit it to the church below. 35:2; 41:19,20; 55:13; Ho 14:6,7to beautify.Ezr 7:27the place.66:1; 1Ch 28:2; Ps 96:6; 132:7 sons.14:1,2; 45:14; 49:23; Jer 16:19; Re 3:9The city.62:12; Ps 87:3; Heb 12:22; Re 3:12; 14:1 thou.49:14-23; 54:6-14; Ps 78:60,61; Jer 30:17; La 1:1,2; Re 11:2,15-17a joy.35:10; 61:7; Jer 33:11 suck the milk.49:23; 61:6; 66:11,12thou shalt know.43:3,4; 66:14; Eze 34:30 brass.30:26; 1Ki 10:21-27; Zec 12:8; Heb 11:40; 2Pe 3:13make.1:26; 32:1,2 Violence.2:4; 11:9; Ps 72:3-7; Mic 4:3; Zec 9:8but.26:1; Re 19:1-6 sun.Ps 36:9; Re 21:23; 22:5thy God.Ps 3:3; 4:2; 62:7; Zec 2:5; Lu 2:32 sun.Ps 27:1; 84:11; Am 8:9; Mal 4:2the days.25:8; 30:19; 35:10; Re 7:15-17; 21:4 people.4:3,4; 51:2; 62:4; Zec 14:20,21; 2Pe 3:13; Re 21:27inherit.Ps 37:11,22; Mt 5:5; Re 5:10; 21:7the branch.29:23; 43:7; 45:11; 61:3; Ps 92:13; Mt 15:13; Joh 15:2; Eph 2:10that I.43:21; 44:23; 49:3; Eph 1:6,12; 2:7; 2Th 1:10 little.66:8; Da 2:35,44; Mt 13:31,32; Ac 2:41; 5:14; Re 7:9I the Lord.5:19; Hab 2:3; Lu 18:7; Heb 10:36; 2Pe 3:8
